Judges 2:1-23

2:1

And an angel
<04397>

of the LORD
<03068>

came up
<05927> (8799)

from Gilgal
<01537>

to Bochim
<01066>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

I made you to go up
<05927> (8686)

out of Egypt
<04714>_,

and have brought
<0935> (8686)

you unto the land
<0776>

which I sware
<07650> (8738)

unto your fathers
<01>_;

and I said
<0559> (8799)_,

I will never
<05769>

break
<06565> (8686)

my covenant
<01285>

with you. {angel: or, messenger}

2:2

And ye shall make
<03772> (8799)

no league
<01285>

with the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of this land
<0776>_;

ye shall throw down
<05422> (8799)

their altars
<04196>_:

but ye have not obeyed
<08085> (8804)

my voice
<06963>_:

why have ye done
<06213> (8804)

this?

2:3

Wherefore I also said
<0559> (8804)_,

I will not drive them out
<01644> (8762)

from before
<06440>

you; but they shall be [as thorns] in your sides
<06654>_,

and their gods
<0430>

shall be a snare
<04170>

unto you.

2:4

And it came to pass, when the angel
<04397>

of the LORD
<03068>

spake
<01696> (8763)

these words
<01697>

unto all the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_,

that the people
<05971>

lifted up
<05375> (8799)

their voice
<06963>_,

and wept
<01058> (8799)_.

2:5

And they called
<07121> (8799)

the name
<08034>

of that place
<04725>

Bochim
<01066>_:

and they sacrificed
<02076> (8799)

there unto the LORD
<03068>_.

{Bochim: that is, Weepers}

2:6

And when Joshua
<03091>

had let the people
<05971>

go
<07971> (8762)_,

the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

went
<03212> (8799)

every man
<0376>

unto his inheritance
<05159>

to possess
<03423> (8800)

the land
<0776>_.

2:7

And the people
<05971>

served
<05647> (8799)

the LORD
<03068>

all the days
<03117>

of Joshua
<03091>_,

and all the days
<03117>

of the elders
<02205>

that outlived
<0748> (8689) <03117> <0310>

Joshua
<03091>_,

who had seen
<07200> (8804)

all the great
<01419>

works
<04639>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

that he did
<06213> (8804)

for Israel
<03478>_.

{outlived: Heb. prolonged days after}

2:8

And Joshua
<03091>

the son
<01121>

of Nun
<05126>_,

the servant
<05650>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

died
<04191> (8799)_,

[being] an hundred
<03967>

and ten
<06235>

years
<08141>

old
<01121>_.

2:9

And they buried
<06912> (8799)

him in the border
<01366>

of his inheritance
<05159>

in Timnathheres
<08556>_,

in the mount
<02022>

of Ephraim
<0669>_,

on the north side
<06828>

of the hill
<02022>

Gaash
<01608>_.

{Timnathhares: also called, Timnathserah}

2:10

And also all that generation
<01755>

were gathered
<0622> (8738)

unto their fathers
<01>_:

and there arose
<06965> (8799)

another
<0312>

generation
<01755>

after
<0310>

them, which knew
<03045> (8804)

not the LORD
<03068>_,

nor yet the works
<04639>

which he had done
<06213> (8804)

for Israel
<03478>_.

2:11

And the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

did
<06213> (8799)

evil
<07451>

in the sight
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and served
<05647> (8799)

Baalim
<01168>_:

2:12

And they forsook
<05800> (8799)

the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of their fathers
<01>_,

which brought them out
<03318> (8688)

of the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_,

and followed
<03212> (8799) <0310>

other
<0312>

gods
<0430>_,

of the gods
<0430>

of the people
<05971>

that [were] round about
<05439>

them, and bowed
<07812> (8691)

themselves unto them, and provoked the LORD
<03068>

to anger
<03707> (8686)_.

2:13

And they forsook
<05800> (8799)

the LORD
<03068>_,

and served
<05647> (8799)

Baal
<01168>

and Ashtaroth
<06252>_.

2:14

And the anger
<0639>

of the LORD
<03068>

was hot
<02734> (8799)

against Israel
<03478>_,

and he delivered
<05414> (8799)

them into the hands
<03027>

of spoilers
<08154> (8802)

that spoiled
<08155> (8799)

them, and he sold
<04376> (8799)

them into the hands
<03027>

of their enemies
<0341> (8802)

round about
<05439>_,

so that they could
<03201> (8804)

not any longer
<05750>

stand
<05975> (8800)

before
<06440>

their enemies
<0341> (8802)_.

2:15

Whithersoever they went out
<03318> (8804)_,

the hand
<03027>

of the LORD
<03068>

was against them for evil
<07451>_,

as the LORD
<03068>

had said
<01696> (8765)_,

and as the LORD
<03068>

had sworn
<07650> (8738)

unto them: and they were greatly
<03966>

distressed
<03334> (8799)_.

2:16

Nevertheless the LORD
<03068>

raised up
<06965> (8686)

judges
<08199> (8802)_,

which delivered
<03467> (8686)

them out of the hand
<03027>

of those that spoiled
<08154> (8802)

them. {delivered: Heb. saved}

2:17

And yet they would not hearken
<08085> (8804)

unto their judges
<08199> (8802)_,

but they went a whoring
<02181> (8804)

after
<0310>

other
<0312>

gods
<0430>_,

and bowed
<07812> (8691)

themselves unto them: they turned
<05493> (8804)

quickly
<04118>

out of the way
<01870>

which their fathers
<01>

walked in
<01980> (8804)_,

obeying
<08085> (8800)

the commandments
<04687>

of the LORD
<03068>_;

[but] they did
<06213> (8804)

not so.

2:18

And when the LORD
<03068>

raised
<06965> (8689)

them up judges
<08199> (8802)_,

then the LORD
<03068>

was with the judge
<08199> (8802)_,

and delivered
<03467> (8689)

them out of the hand
<03027>

of their enemies
<0341> (8802)

all the days
<03117>

of the judge
<08199> (8802)_:

for it repented
<05162> (8735)

the LORD
<03068>

because
<06440>

of their groanings
<05009>

by reason of them that oppressed
<03905> (8801)

them and vexed
<01766> (8802)

them.

2:19

And it came to pass, when the judge
<08199> (8802)

was dead
<04194>_,

[that] they returned
<07725> (8799)_,

and corrupted
<07843> (8689)

[themselves] more than their fathers
<01>_,

in following
<03212> (8800) <0310>

other
<0312>

gods
<0430>

to serve
<05647> (8800)

them, and to bow down
<07812> (8692)

unto them; they ceased
<05307> (8689)

not from their own doings
<04611>_,

nor from their stubborn
<07186>

way
<01870>_.

{corrupted...: or, were corrupt} {ceased...: Heb. let nothing fall of their}

2:20

And the anger
<0639>

of the LORD
<03068>

was hot
<02734> (8799)

against Israel
<03478>_;

and he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Because that this people
<01471>

hath transgressed
<05674> (8804)

my covenant
<01285>

which I commanded
<06680> (8765)

their fathers
<01>_,

and have not hearkened
<08085> (8804)

unto my voice
<06963>_;

2:21

I also will not henceforth
<03254> (8686)

drive out
<03423> (8687)

any
<0376>

from before
<06440>

them of the nations
<01471>

which Joshua
<03091>

left
<05800> (8804)

when he died
<04191> (8799)_:

2:22

That through them I may prove
<05254> (8763)

Israel
<03478>_,

whether they will keep
<08104> (8802)

the way
<01870>

of the LORD
<03068>

to walk
<03212> (8800)

therein, as their fathers
<01>

did keep
<08104> (8804)

[it], or not.

2:23

Therefore the LORD
<03068>

left
<03240> (8686)

those nations
<01471>_,

without
<01115>

driving them out
<03423> (8687)

hastily
<04118>_;

neither delivered
<05414> (8804)

he them into the hand
<03027>

of Joshua
<03091>_.

{left: or, suffered}
